The gill parasite statement is actually based on what I learned from pet shop owners and like around here. The fish seemed to be gasping for air in the water trying to catch their breath. But I tested the water and all levels of chemicals and so forth was fine. One of the pet shop owners told me that gold morph rams had a high susceptability to a gill disease. I guess it may not have been a 'parasite' but it was something unpleasant disturbing their breathing.
